Should' assumes that when either willingness or ability is lacking, it may be compensated for by an abundance of the other. This is simply not realistic.

About This Quote

If someone with a limited amount of willingness or ability tries to compensate for this by using an abundance of the other, the result will be insufficient. Should is defined as something that is expected to happen in any situation. We should all be happy and content with whatever we have, and if we're not, we should find out why and fix it. This is what we assume we should do when we try to fix things that aren't broken.

Every situation is different, and every person's capabilities are different. What one person may be able to accomplish quickly may take another person way longer than it should.
